On April 13th 2018, the first public education activity of The LUXELAKES·A4 Art Museum‘s ARIE Program was held. Dieter Detzne, the German artist had a lecture with the subject of Translatio Conscientia at the School of the Arts of Southwest Minzu University. At the lecture, Dieter shared his works and creative experiences to audiences. With the beginning of this year's residence project, the residency artists and curators will also visit public spaces such as cities, campuses and communities in order to interact with the public and experience a diverse art world together.

Dieter Detzner's works are mainly presented in the form of sculptures, photography and installations, which usually relate to the space. He early focused on the connection between nature and culture. And he liked to simulate the thinking activities of the thinker. Later, under the influence of “Change Consciousness”, he used the voice-control devices to catch the instant scenes of explosions. Meanwhile, he started to research the ultimate proposition of “Everything comes from nothing, there must be an eternal and immutable element” by accompanying with the imagination of “Big Bang”. Afterwards, his sculptural works mostly discuss about the relationship between one space and another. His works are usually hanging in a space between walls. Especially, he pulls a plane out of a three-dimensional bulge, or forms another invisible space of geometry in this space.

Dieter Detzner was born in 1970 in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg and studied at the Hochschule der Künste (Academy of Arts) Berlin. His work was shown in public museums among others at Today art museum Beijing, ZKM Karlsruhe, Kunstverein Bielefeld. He also showed in numerous galleries, for example Neu Berlin, Nourbakhsch Berlin, Truelzsch Berlin, Max Hetzler Berlin, Gourvennec Marseille, Corty Paris and Madder 139 London. Dieter lives and works in Berlin, and his art work is space related. He likes to involve the audience in the work so it is possible for the viewer to experience oneself in a new way.
